Boarding a 13 hour flight from Buenos Aires to London. London to Dublin tomorrow. No one at airport knows what my repeal jumper means. No one here knows why I'm travelling. If this feels isolating for me, can't imagine how lonely it must be 4 her, travelling 2 the UK #HomeToVote

Niamh Downey, an account executive living in London, is flying back to her hometown of Dundalk in order to vote yes to repeal the amendment.

Her two younger sisters are also flying home to cast their ballots, with one traveling from Valencia, Spain, and the other also from London.

“There are a lot of No posters around my hometown,” Downey said, referring to the campaign to oppose abortion.

“For me the concern was that more liberal counties such as Dublin may come across as having a lead for Yes in the polls, but I think perhaps that there might be a stronger No contingency in my hometown.

“We’re flying home simply to vote; I’ll be back [in London] on Saturday.”

The #HomeToVote movement on Twitter has made for poignant reading for those flying back to their Irish hometowns.
